After beating the then-Big 12 leading Oklahoma Sooners on the road on Big Monday, the Kansas Jayhawks returned to Allen Fieldhouse to trounce the highly ranked Missouri Tigers.

All that since the last edition of Top 25 polls came out, meaning the Jayhawks were expected to see a big boost in their rankings. We now know how big.

In both ESPN/USA Today and Associated Press polls out this afternoon, KU moves from No. 15 to No. 9.

There are now three conference teams in the ESPN rankings, with Texas dropping out with a loss over the weekend.
